Rug Cleaning in Seminole Heights
Collection and delivery in Seminole Heights are included. We take the rug back to the workshop, wash it properly, and bring it home.
What Seminole Heights is built from
Seminole Heights is the oldest stock we handle, with a median build year of 1949, 51.5 percent of homes predating 1950 and 29.4 percent of them from the 1920s. Bungalows on pier-and-beam, wood floors throughout, and rooms sized for furniture rather smaller than what gets put in them now.
A restoring crowd, doing the work themselves over a period of years, often with rugs bought secondhand that are worth more than was paid for them. Dogs are close to universal.
The Seminole Heights problem
Seminole Heights is old and high at the same time, which is an unusual combination on this route. Only 9.3 percent of sampled locations fall in a mapped flood zone and the median elevation is around 37 feet, so almost everything we collect here has a moisture problem that came from the house rather than from the river. Ventilated crawlspaces under eighty-year-old houses move humid air directly beneath the floorboards, and a rug laid over a gap in old heart pine takes that air up through it from below. Original floors are also rarely flat any more, so a rug sits unevenly and wears along the high points in lines you can read like contours on a map. The wear and the damp usually arrive together, because the low spot that holds the rug down against the boards is the same spot that stays coolest.
If that sounds like your rug, send the form and describe what you are seeing. We will tell you whether it needs the full treatment or not.
